Citadel Base: Orruk Waagh! Flesh (12ml) | Color for Miniatures

The Foundation of the Green Tide

Painting the skin of the galaxy’s most numerous creatures requires a reliable, quick-to-apply undercoat. Orruk Waagh! Flesh is part of the Citadel Base range, which means it’s designed to cover even the darkest primers (like black) without requiring endless layers. Its matte finish and smooth texture create the ideal base for subsequent shading, ensuring your army is ready for the gaming table in record time.

Not Just for Orc Hide
Although it originated as the official base shade for Ork (40k) and Orruk Warclans (Age of Sigmar) skin, this dark, rich, military green is incredibly versatile and excellent for:

• Armor and vehicles of Space Marines chapters such as the Salamanders or Dark Angels.
• Military uniforms, camouflage, and backpacks for the Astra Militarum.
• Scenery, foliage, moss, and jungle or forest details on the playing fields.

Safe and Professional Format
This water-based acrylic paint is completely non-toxic, solvent-free, and odorless, making it ideal for safe painting sessions at home. The 12ml bottle features the proven Citadel flip-top cap, which keeps the paint fluid and protected from air, and includes an internal spill-proof tab to help you dispense the perfect amount onto your palette.

Usage and Pairing Tips

To achieve the classic Citadel-style shaded green skin, follow this tried-and-tested recipe:

1. Base: Apply Orruk Waagh! Flesh (lightly diluted with water) all over the skin.
2. Shade: Wash the entire area with Biel-Tan Green (for a vivid green) or Agrax Earthshade (for a dirtier, more realistic tone) to darken muscles and recesses.
3. Highlight (Layer): Restore relaxed volumes with the Warboss Green layer color and refine the most exposed details (nose, lips, knuckles) with a touch of Skarsnik Green.
